BCM CONSULTING FROM CONCEPTURE
Assessing risks
A well-thought-out BCM plan enables you to recognise and be prepared for a wide range of disruptions, whether they are caused by IT failures, natural disasters or other events, in good time. For you, this means that you remain capable of acting at all times and can ensure that business operations continue without interruption.
Act preventively
Implementing a BCM enables you not only to recognise potential risks, but also to develop suitable strategies to counteract them. This foresight prepares you not only for current risks, but also for future ones. This gives you a decisive competitive advantage and protects your company and your brand at the same time.
Save costs
Unexpected events can cause massive financial losses. Investing in a solid BCM not only limits potential financial losses, but also takes preventive measures that are ultimately more cost-effective than the potential expenses that could arise from business failures and optimise your business processes.
Process
Risk assessment
The aim is to identify and assess potential risks for your business processes. This includes collecting data, assessing the probability of risk and prioritising these risks according to relevance.
Business impact analyses
This involves analysing the actual, operational and financial impact of interruptions. The maximum permissible downtime for each of these processes is also determined.
Strategy development
Strategies and plans are developed to manage risks. This includes the selection of recovery strategies and the creation of recovery and communication plans.
Implementation & Training
All stakeholders are informed and trained on the BCM plan. Necessary processes and technologies are introduced and the plan is communicated to the stakeholders.
Regular review & further development
It is crucial to keep the BCM plan up to date and ensure that it adapts to changing business requirements and risks. Regular reviews and audits of the plan are carried out for this purpose. Feedback and actual events are taken into account to ensure the effectiveness of the plan through continuous improvement.

FAQ about our BCM
Business continuity management (BCM) may seem complex. Here we clarify your most important questions.
What is business continuity management (BCM)?
BCM is a holistic process that ensures that an organisation’s critical business processes can continue in the event of an unforeseen event or crisis. It includes risk assessment, business impact analysis, strategy development and continuous improvement.
Why is BCM important for my company?
Any organisation can be affected by unexpected disruptions, whether due to technical failures, human error or natural disasters. Effective BCM is essential as it not only protects brand and reputation, but also ensures regulatory compliance, minimises financial losses and provides clear strategies for action in times of crisis. It also strengthens stakeholder confidence, prepares for modern threats and promotes a proactive corporate culture.
How do I get started with BCM?
The first step is a risk assessment to identify potential threats and their impact on your organisation. Based on this, suitable continuity strategies and plans can be developed.
What norms and standards does Concepture follow when it comes to BCM?
Part of our service is the selection of the appropriate standards and approaches for the customer. Whether ISO 22301, BSI Standard 200-4 or industry-specific standards and guidelines: We check for you what is suitable for your company in order to optimally guarantee your business continuity and efficiently minimise risks.
What is the difference between BCM and an emergency plan?
While an emergency plan usually only deals with immediate responses to a crisis, BCM deals with the entire preparation, response and recovery of business processes over a longer period of time.
How long does it take to implement a BCM?
The duration depends on the size and complexity of your organisation and the risks identified. Effective BCM requires time and commitment, but the benefits far outweigh the investment.
Are my employees involved in the BCM process?
Absolutely! Not only should employees be involved, they also play a central role in the implementation and execution of the plan. Training and exercises are crucial for success.
